Subject: Re: [Astro_IIDC] Saturn under very good seeing

Very nice Jim! The seeing last night in Buffalo was the best I've come across in 2 years. Unfortunately the clouds rolled in very quickly. By the time I had finished giving all the 14 year old girls who were sleeping over for my daughter's birthday a look, saturn had dimmed too much for picture taking. I grabbed a quick stream in white light just for a souvenir. 

cheers,

Alan

The seeing was very good this morning in the Toronto region allowing
me to tweak the collimation on my C8. The decrease in total
brightness of Saturn this year has me really lusting after big
aperture! I was thinking of getting a used 16" Lightbridge for
planetary imaging only!
